Very disappointed with our experience…read more We booked a 4:30 PM dolphin boat tour for four people and were really looking forward to it. Around 11 AM, we received a call letting us know that we were currently the only four people booked and that they were going to see if guests from the 2 PM tour could join us. At no point were we told that our tour might be canceled. By 2:30 PM, we still had not heard anything, so we had to call them ourselves to confirm whether the 4:30 tour was still happening. That's when we were told they had decided it was not financially viable to run the tour with just the four of us and had canceled it. We were extremely disappointed that they canceled our tour at the last minute without proactively notifying us. We had planned our entire day around this experience and were left having to reach out ourselves to find out that it was no longer happening. We completely understand that businesses have to make decisions based on demand, but the communication and customer service were disappointing. If a tour is going to be canceled, customers should be notified as soon as that decision is made rather than having to call and find out themselves shortly before the scheduled departure. Unfortunately, this experience left us very disappointed and we would not book again.

Friendly and warm, they knew a lot about the area and willingly shared with us during the ride. This is also a very safe boat, I've been on many charters and believe it or not this is the first one that took the time to go over a safety briefing to let us know where the lifejackets are kept on the boat and also review their policies. We will definitely consider them for next charter. We'll done!

Captain drove us out to beer can Island. We had a great time on the waterslide. We were able to watch the sunset on our way back to dock ample parking at ricks café. I would give it 4 1/2 stars but Yelp only allows even numbers lol the only thing I would change is the boat being a newer model. We had no issues with the boat, but the leather was cracked and a little dated. I would recommend this company, and I would also use it myself. Most companies allow up to six or eight people. This company allows up to 12 people with a captain.

What a great way to avoid trying to find parking at the new Coachman Park! I'd much rather pay a…read morefew bucks for a fun ride from Dunedin and spend a little time on the water. They drop and pick up right outside Coachman Park on the dock. Super convenient, the guys driving and confirming tickets were very nice. You can go standby as long as there are open seats. You can buy in advance online - suggested... but it is not quite up to date... the website is also a bit finicky. Not sure how reliable all the info/details are yet... They are just getting started but I'm not sure if that means it's brand new for that location or just for the 2023 season. We ended up just paying cash and the pricing was different online than what we were charged in person. Last ferry from Coachman Park back to Dunedin during the week is at 9:30 pm...if you're there for a show you might miss the boat! I'm not sure about weekends but I'll be using it again on a Saturday soon so I'll update my review if there's more to report. But definitely choose this and the Jolley Trolley over other options when possible. It's cheaper and more fun!

Suggested you purchase tickets in advance and bring cash for a tip. We were picked up right next to Coachman Park Marina, rode over to the Clearwater Beach marina, and back, just went for a fun short trip. The price is right for families, kids, everyone! Much better than trying to find parking on Clearwater Beach, save your money and the hassle, and ride the Ferry! Captain Ralph and First Mate Alex were professional, friendly and full of amazing local tidbits throughout our ride, describing locations as we putted along the intracoastal. The boat was comfortable, the ride was serene, the scenery unmatched, and Capt. Ralph and F.M. Alex could not have been more pleasant and accommodating. Highly recommend for families, kids will love this!
